They say sports are unpredictable. Unfortunately for Canucks fans, there tend to be a lot more surprises that make you say "YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME" as opposed to "F***ING RIGHTS, YES!" At this point, watching this team flounder isn't a huge surprise...until you remember that there were realistic playoff odds entering the season. Most outlets had…

Thursday, 4 p.m. , Amalie Arena. TV: Sportsnet. Radio: AM 650. TAMPA - It's a pretty bold statement about the strength of your division when 25 wins in 39 games has you just in third place. The Tampa Bay Lightning remain one of the league's powerhouses, but in the 2022-23 season they're trailing the odds-on favourite for the Stanley Cup and a…

It's been a tough few years if you're a sports bettor who likes to take big swings on Stanley Cup futures bets. The 2019-20 Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup after sitting among the top pre-season favorites following a season in which they'd tied an NHL record with 62 wins. The 2020-21 Lightning were obviously favorites again, coming off the…

It's not too often a player 21 games into the first season of a three-year contract extension becomes a virtual lock to be traded. But here we are with right winger Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks. It's natural to view last weekend's drama as a catalyst and the reason why Boeser and agent Ben Hankinson have been granted permission by the…

The Ottawa Senators haven't given up their search for a top-four defenceman. They're just not easy to find and nobody is giving them away. Eleven games into the season, the Senators aren't the least bit pleased with their 4-7-0 record as the Vancouver Canucks come to town and defensive errors have played a big role in the club's record just over a…

The New York Islanders will look to continue their solid play in 2023, setting out on a visit to the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena. Even with the Islanders much higher in the standings, neither New York nor Vancouver will enter this matchup playing well. The Isles have a 4-4-2 record over their last ten games, while the Canucks are 5-5 over…

After reclaiming the top spot in the Central Division, the Dallas Stars have staved off an early attempt for the divisional peak by Winnipeg that certainly won't be the last. Teams with offensive firepower like Colorado (when healthy) and Minnesota are also sure to go on streaks within the final fifty plus games that would make Pete DeBoer & Co. a…

For the first time in a few years, the NHL feels wide open. Heading into last weekend, there were only seven teams in the entire league more than five points out of a playoff spot. That's a startling contrast to what we saw last season when the Eastern Conference playoff race was basically set by Dec. 1. At some point, we'll start to see the pack…

Morrissey-DeMelo Dillon-Pionk Capobianco-Samberg Heinola Hellebuyck Rittich Injury update: Tough news on the injury front as head coach Rick Bowness indicated that Blake Wheeler had groin surgery and will be out at least one month and Nate Schmidt will be out 4-6 weeks with an upper-body injury. Betway Odds: While the Jets come into tonight's game…

While Christmas is rapidly approaching, the bigger question is how the Canadian teams are doing. Let's get down to business. Alex Ovechkin from the Washington Capitals is chasing the record of Wayne Gretzky. On Tuesday, the "Great 8" notched a hat trick to join Gretzky as members of the "800 goal club". Let that sink in. Ovechkin has 3 ½ years left…

The Vancouver Canucks were still on the ice for an extended practice ahead of their flight to Calgary when the statement was issued on Bo Horvat's behalf. "I am focused on this season and playing for the Vancouver Canucks, helping the team in any way I can," the statement read. "I will not have any further comments this year about my…

December continues onward for our gambling.com readers! For players, one factor in how they wager hasn't been a factor so far. Zero coaches have received pink slips this holiday season.

How are the Canadian teams doing heading into December? Gambling.com takes a look at their prospects (and opportunities) as we enter the second half of the NHL season. The Edmonton Oilers did not have the best start to their week as they wound down their East Coast trip. Edmonton was stonewalled by Ilya Sorkin and the Islanders and then stared down…

The Vancouver Canucks have begun the Bruce Boudreau era in style, winning their first two games with him behind the bench.

It's beginning to look a lot like December. Or at least close to it. What that means in hockey terms is simple: A quarter of the NHL's 2022-23 regular season is in the books, and it's getting a bit easier to separate the haves from the have-nots. The defending champs from Colorado have hit their stride. The two-time defending champs before them are…

The Montreal Canadiens and the Vancouver Canucks are on a collision course tonight for their second meeting this season. The Canucks won the first one back in November to the tune of a 2-1 score, but a lot has happened since. In fact, both teams no longer have their head coaches from that game with them. Even though the Canadiens are extremely…

MONTREAL - Here's what's ahead on day two for the Vancouver Canucks at the NHL Entry Draft. Fans can watch from 8 a.m. on Sportsnet. The Canucks didn't have a pick in the second round, but did have picks in rounds 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. They had said they'd like to add a second rounder but weren't optimistic and in the end, they were right. They made…

Connor Clifton may not be a household name outside of New England, but he is another in a large group of players exceeding expectations for the Boston Bruins, who return home Sunday to take on Western Conference foe the Vancouver Canucks.

In case you missed it last night, the Vancouver Canucks managed to drop a lead for the third consecutive game, losing 6-4 to the Washington Capitals, despite having a 4-2 lead going into the third period.

The Vancouver Canucks endured a very good start to the Bruce Boudreau era on Monday night with a dominating 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.

This article is part of our NHL Picks series. You can count on sports betting to heat-check you when you're getting hot. To humble you when you're feeling confident.

So what's the update for the Canadian teams? Let's get down to business. The Oilers hit a massive speed bump this week, losing three straight games and then…

There's a secret that very few in hockey know: goaltending isn't voodoo, it's controlled chaos. The goaltending position is an aspect of hockey that's seemingly understood only by the people who've played it, to the point where some NHL head coaches all but ignore them in their game plans. But take it from an actual goalie, there is a method to our…

1. Mike Sullivan betrayed a weakness when he allowed himself to be distracted by heckling fans. A losing streak will do that to a losing coach. 2. Suggestions that the Maple Leafs' high command should dump Sheldon Keefe are dumb and dumber. (See Damien Cox below.) 3. Big money dulls motivation. Exhibit A: Jonathan Huberdeau's meh efforts in…
